Fab Freebie: It’s A One-derful Life

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Thanks to random.org, our four winners are…Kathryn (who wants to know how long this paint will keep, since she’s in an apartment now), Kristen: Turning A House Into A Home (who wonders if it’s better to dust or vacuum first), Alisa Decatur (who’d like to get to the bottom of her daughter’s summer-time procrastination) and Kassie (who wants to know how much painting she’ll be doing when she buys a house). Congrats ladies!

Toss on some old clothes, because four of you are about to get painting. This week’s giveaway will cover everything you’ll need, starting with $60 worth of Olympic ONE paint. ONE is Olympic’s new paint + primer in… wait for it… one. It hides stains, resists mildew, and survives scrubbing. And at about $25 per can, you’ll be able to score at least two cans with your prize (and maybe even an extra quart).

Olympic One

But you can’t paint without the proper supplies, so the folks over at StackExchange are also hooking up our four lucky winners with a bunch of stuff that we hand-picked for ya (cause we paint kind of a lot, actually). So we know good rollers, Frog Tape, a drop cloth, and a short handled brush can come in handy. If you still need another boost to get painting, head over to one of StackExchange’s 50+ community-driven Q&A sites. Their DIY channel in particular is always abuzz with topics like “What is low VOC paint?” or “Can you paint a popcorn ceiling?”

Stack Exchange Paint Suppli

    ONE THING I WANT TO KNOW IS…should we finish remodelling our kitchen now or should we remodel our 1 1/2 baths first and THEN finish the kitchen? It’s so hard to decide. The kitches is fully functional, just not as pretty as we want it to be. We replaced all of our applicances except the double oven – so we still need to tackle flooring, cabinetry, lighting and countertops…not to mention a decent table and chairs. Same sich with the bathrooms – fully functional – just ugly. Think pink toilet, tub and tile in the full bath and yellow throne, sink and tile in the 1/2 bath. Crap – whatever should we do???
